Callum Megarry, apprentice at West London based WPJ Heating, has won the title of our Apprentice of the Year (AOTY) competition.

21-year old Callum entered and won our competition by responding to the monthly online challenges set. The tasks included Callum stripping down a boiler, sharing photo examples of his installations, and demonstrating his ability to bend, join and clip copper. The budding apprentice impressed our judging panel with his vast skillset, creativity and obvious passion for the plumbing and heating industry.

We congratulated Callum on his win by awarding him a new iPad, branded workwear, and a set of professional power tools. If that wasn’t enough, Callum will also enjoy a half-day racing experience with Team Dynamics at Honda, as part of his prize.

Callum, said: “I’m really glad that my apprenticeship provider WPJ Heating encouraged and supported me to enter, because it feels great to have won this year’s competition and have my name recognised by Worcester Bosch - a household name in the plumbing and heating industry. It has helped boost my confidence no end and will be a great achievement to put on my CV!”

Our Director of Technical Communication and Product Management, Martyn Bridges, commented: “Callum really stood out as a candidate in this year’s competition. He was consistent, creative and had meticulous attention to detail in all of the challenges he took part in. Not only did he show great skill, but his videos were extremely engaging and fun to watch. Callum is the epitome of what we want to see from the next generation of installers in the HVAC industry.”
